cracked injector nose cones(?)... is this a problem?


Recommended Posts

So I finally got around to diagnosing my 87 GL 10 with an EA82T today.

 

It's been parked since last fall when it started running on 3 cylinders, so I did the usual litany of tests:

Spark all around

Compression is good all around

Timing belt didn't jump a tooth

 

The problem SEEMS to be a bad injector on number 3.

 

But over the course of my switching the injectors between cylinders on the rail I noticed the plastic nose cones (nozzles?) were cracked. Well, one is actually missing a chunk!

The seals that seat over the plastic cones seem to be fine...

 

Since this is an indirect injection motor do these need to be replaced?

Seems like a vacuum leak would be the worst problem this could cause, is that assumption correct?

 

Thanks- PHIL
